changes, it is possible that the beaviour of some existing presets may have changed. Please see the Notes section
for details.
Major Features: - Default presets have been redesigned to make use of new and improved plugins. If upgrading, you will
see the new presets in a new "Factory Presets" bank.
- Support for Ubuntu 25.04 (am64 and aarch64).

should not modify these presets, as they may be overwritten or added to by future upgrades. Instead, copy presets from the Factory Presets

#### Minor Features/Bug Fixes
- Correct missing '-' key on Samsung keyboards when editing control values.
- Default to dark theme on first use.
- dB values are now displayed on plugin VU output controls.
- Correctly display name of plugin in MIDI bindings dialog. (Thanks to Jiri Popek).
- Auto-focus input control on Rename dialogs. (Thanks to Jiri Popek).
- Display LICENSE files found in upload directories.
